A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Cholet fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Boulogne's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Cholet has the most scored goals (18) at home in National
- Boulogne is in the worst form (0-2-4)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Boulogne form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Boulogne so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Boulogne, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Bastia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Boulogne are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The manager L. Guyot was unhappy after their last game, a National match played at their home ground Stade de la Libération. Boulogne suffered a 0-1 loss to Avranches (placed 7th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Lyon Duchère.
The attacking power of Boulogne when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Boulogne have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: one win for Cholet, two draws and three wins for Boulogne. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
